I am an artist currently specialising in printmaking. I run my own project called 'Sharing the Making,' working with artisans in Peru, South America. I am particularly interested in collaborative work and how to develop my skills in print and pattern design, in order to strengthen my ability to communicate with collaborative partners. I believe in the value of traditional craftsmanship and I am keen to harness the collaborative relationships I have forged through future projects. I also run community workshops and I am interested in the philosophy of pedagogy. I hope that the MA in Textiles will aid me on my journey towards lecturing in higher education in the future, ideally on a Foundation Course in Art and Design.
